At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin did not make any requests related to the actual interests of both parties like Zhu Yuanzhang, but intended to promote the marriage of Xu and Jin. Zhang Yi did not dare to make the decision for Li Xiang privately at that time, so he specially introduced Feige to Li Xiang.
It is up to Li Xiang to make his own decision.
The person Zhao Kuangyin wanted to send out to marry Li Xiang was none other than Zhao Feiyan who appeared in the dynasty summoning card. He was implanted and became Zhao Kuangyin's sister.
Li Xiang naturally couldn't refuse the beauty who came to his door. Moreover, Li Xiang needed to promote cooperation with Zhao Kuangyin in order to conquer the Japanese pirates eastward, and the army had to pass through Xuzhou. Secondly, Li Xiang also wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin's marriage.
The purpose behind lifting.
If the first step has been blocked, how can he see the second step!
Sure enough, after the marriage was agreed to, Zhao Kuangyin's true purpose was revealed.
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin's psychological tactics were also quite good. He first proposed a bunch of conditions that the Jin army could not agree to, and then pushed Zhao Feiyan out to force Zhang Yi.
Now that the two parties have decided to marry, Zhao Feiyan has an additional identity as Li Xiang's future princess. Just with this additional identity, it is impossible for Zhang Yi not to be restricted.
This has always been the most troublesome thing since ancient times. Especially after Zhang Yi saw that Zhao Feiyan was indeed beautiful and fragrant, it was even more impossible not to pay attention to this. There was no need to leave hidden dangers for herself.
Therefore, while ensuring Li Xiang's interests, he also tried his best not to offend the future princess, which also added a lot of trouble to Zhang Yi.
In the end, although Zhang Yi refuted all the conditions proposed by Zhao Kuangyin, if both parties want to continue to promote the alliance, it is impossible not to carry out the necessary exchange of interests. Therefore, they must more or less agree to the other party's conditions.
of.
In fact, the condition that Zhang Yi was forced to agree to was Zhao Kuangyin's real purpose.
First put forward an unacceptable condition, and then replace it with another expected condition to make others accept it. In addition, in this incident, Zhao Kuangyin fully played the role of Zhao Feiyan. It has to be said that Zhang Yi cannot bear the loss.
injustice.
"So, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang are about to form an alliance!" Li Xiang asked while listening to Zhuge Liang and Zhang Yi recount their experiences this time.
"Lord, I'm afraid this matter is already 70% certain!" Zhuge Liang sighed slightly.
Since Zhuge Liang has already gone to Yangzhou, it is impossible not to visit his eldest brother! And people like Zhuge Liang, when visiting his eldest brother, even if they do not have this idea, they will subconsciously do so during the conversation.
Let’s test it out!
Ever since Zhuge Liang went to Mingde College and left home since he was a child, it was rare for the two brothers to see each other for a year from that time on. After the two went their separate ways, they had not seen each other for many years.
Therefore, when the two brothers meet again after many years, no matter how cautious Zhuge Jin is, there will always be times when he is lax when facing Zhuge Liang. In addition, Zhuge Liang is indeed powerful, and perhaps even Zhuge Jin himself does not realize that before
During the conversation between the two of them, he had inadvertently allowed Zhuge Liang to obtain some information, and people from Xuzhou appeared at Zhu Yuanzhang's place.
Unfortunately, as our intelligence agencies have become more mature, our counter-investigation methods have also become more mature. This time, Zhao Kuangyin quietly sent a lobbyist to contact Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhuge Liang still discovered the clues.
!
When Zhuge Liang reminded Li Xiang of this incident, Zhang Yi also realized at this time that when he went to see Zhao Kuangyin, he did not find his confidant Zhao Pu.
The combination of these two pieces of information is enough for them to make some guesses. But in many cases, they don't need enough evidence, just some guesses are enough.
"It's Yuan Shu!" At this time, Li Xiang, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Yi said in unison.
Zhao Kuangyin's condition to Zhang Yi was nothing else. It was to ask the Jin army to help them send troops to deal with Yuan Shu, which included the imperial court's appeal against the thief. If you agree to this kind of request, you will agree. Anyway, whether you do it or not after you agree, the time will come.
It's enough to keep the skin off for a long time.
During this period, as long as their speed is fast enough, the alliance of several princes, no matter how slow their speed, will definitely reach Japan by then. As long as they let themselves taste a little sweetness for the princes, even without Li Xiang's continued push
, they will also insist on continuing this battle.
Therefore, Zhang Yi did not reject this request at that time.
However, now it seems that Zhao Kuangyin has a big plan. He wants to completely eliminate Yuan Shu!
Although Li Xiang had already predicted that Yuan Shu might not be able to reach the top for a long time, at this time, he still felt very regretful that such a good chess piece was so difficult to find!
To this day, Yuan Shu has helped him so much! It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Shu can be said to have taken the greatest credit for Li Xiang's ability to expand his territory to this day.
However, now that things have come to this point, it is useless to lament! If Yuan Shu, a chess piece, is destined to be eliminated, then what Li Xiang should consider is what benefits he can get from this!
As for the territory, Li Xiang doesn't want to get involved there. It's the land of the Four Battles of the Central Plains. If he rashly intervenes, he will easily get stuck in the quagmire, which will not be conducive to Li Xiang's achievement of his next strategic goal.
Even if Li Xiang can occupy a piece of territory in the next thing, in fact, it will not be of real benefit to him. It is just a small gain and a big loss.
Since the territory is not good, then only talents are left. To be honest, Li Xiang is also very jealous of those people under Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu really can't hold on, Li Xiang will have to find a way.
Get your own piece of this cake.
In fact, Li Xiang still underestimated Zhao Kuangyin's move, or Yi Yin's plan for Zhao Kuangyin against Yuan Shu. This time, Yuan Shu was in real danger.
Because, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to unite not only Zhu Yuanzhang and others, but also the two princes, Cao Cao and Chi You. If he really succeeds, no matter whether Li Xiang can realize Zhao Kuangyin's conditions or not, he can unite the four princes.
With such power, how could Yuan Shu's family resist!
Moreover, I have to say that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhao Kuangyin. Otherwise, if it were at other times, Yi Yin would not have suggested that Zhao Kuangyin contact so many princes at once!
